Sign up in seconds with your email. Add your skate discipline, location, and profile photo so buyers and sellers can learn more about you.

2. List or Browse Gear

For Sellers

  • Upload clear photos
  • Choose your category (boots, plates, wheels, etc.)
  • Add details like size, condition, brand, and model
  • Set your price
  • Choose shipping or local pickup

For Buyers

  • Browse by category
  • Filter by size, brand, discipline, or condition
  • Message sellers with questions before purchasing
  • Save items you’re interested in

3. Understand the Fees

We keep our fees simple, predictable, and far lower than major platforms.

Seller Fee: 7% (minimum $2.50 transaction)

Automatically deducted from the sale price.
Used to run the platform, process payments, and maintain marketplace safety.

Buyer Fee

Buyers pay the item price, shipping (if applicable), and standard payment processing fees charged by our payment processor at checkout.

Payment Processing Fee (Stripe): ~2.9% + 30¢

This is charged by Stripe (not by us) on every online payment — same as all major platforms.

5. Secure Payments via Stripe

All payments go through Stripe, the world’s leading secure payment processor.
Buyers and sellers never share personal banking information.

Your money is protected at every step.

6. Ship or Meet Locally

Sellers choose:

  • Shipping (set your preferred cost)
  • Local Pickup (ideal for boots and heavier setups)

Buyers choose their preferred delivery method at checkout.

7. Rate Your Experience

After the transaction:

  • Buyers rate sellers
  • Sellers rate buyers

This builds trust and keeps our marketplace safe for everyone.
